seeing the comments from guys on booktubers' channels;

parasocial relationships are more dangerous than pornography, by far. they're more insidious. they give me a bad feeling, it's difficult to describe. they feel "off". porn is blatantly voyeuristic and doesn't pretend not to be, but parasocial channels are more...

exploitative? with porn a lot of women will post things for free, just because they get off on the attention or the comments or they enjoy it. but parasocial relationships are usually extractive, monetarily. they obviously "target" a demographic while putting on a sweet innocent face. many female SFW "content producers" are especially guilty of this. it's been commented on here before but it just strikes me as a very ill omen that these sorts of things have been normalized...

The voice of a greater truth speaks through me. Though my flesh and bodily action betimes betrays it, the body is not all. The ignorant hylic materialist weakness dominates mass consciousness and leads it astray.They cannot see that more goes beyond the body, that there are threads weaving through the physical bodies, subject to animal weakness all, that dip and dive in terms of their quality. The lowest do not rise above the body. The greater struggle against it. And transcend all spooks, who can for once see beyond themselves, beyond their origins, beyond their language, beyond their culture, beyond their education, beyond their skin, to the truth that unites us?

>> No.20032713

I want to enjoy novels, but can’t seem to. I read a bunch when I was a kid, but now I can only seem to read nonfiction. When reading novels, there are three basic problems I run into.

The first is simply that I cannot relate to or care about the vast majority of fictional characters, and thus can’t stand reading length interactions between them where they talk about each other or their relationships.

The second problem is that I can’t seem to stop making myself think “this is stupid- why is this written this way?” And then, instead of reading along or even wanting to read along, I just enter my own head and imagine how I would write it. I have no illusion that I’m a great writer, but I know what I would like, and I can’t seem to put that out of my mind long enough to enjoy what is actually on the page. How can I just enjoy someone else’s writing, story, and world-building without getting diverted into coming up with my own? Is it just that I haven’t found the right author yet, or is this a fundamental problem in me?

Third is just that I find artful and lengthy descriptive language annoying. Which is very ironic since I enjoy writing it. But basically, I prefer brevity and writing where few sentences are wasted.

Am I just a basic bitch that can’t be fixed, or is there anything I can try to get back to enjoying novels?

I do not claim omniscience. And that is the source of my theoretical appeal. For all politicians pretend to omniscience. Their only means of inspiring confidence is that they know better than their supporters. Hence why Plato promoted the idea that philosophers made the best leaders. Plato, remember, was a student of Socrates. Socrates emphasized his ignorance, not his knowlege. He said that wisdom was to be found in the recognition of what one does not know, an infinite sea, not in what one does know, a tiny island. Politics must be fundamentally redirected in relation to the fact that humanity does not have the answers. It must provide an open emporium of speculation and inquiry as to what is the optimal solutions and not pretend to know what's what.

I don't know. US politics is basically that to the point, someone can just talk circles to tire out those who decide to listen. How does one even define optimal when one's goals are not the same? What is humanity if not a singular being? What is the end goal of humanity if not immortality?

There must be answers. Yet to the extent that there is sociogenic suffering, suffering caused by humans and inflicted upon humans, it is self-evident that the assumptions undergirding that system are flawed. The reason? We want to be lazy. We want to give in to our inner chimpanzee.

Does anyone have enough self-respect to be ashamed of that inner champanzee? Does no one seek to fight it, over come it? Aren't we capable of more? Must we give into such barbaric sentiments? Can't we see that our cerebral cortices know better than us? Are leading us toward infinite possibilities? Meanwhile we stew in the most abject of weaknesses, and mistake it for virtue! We bring doom upon ourselves.

I sometimes wonder if Plato knew the future when he spoke of ignorance. I do think there are a variety of people who attempt to solve problems. I don't know whether there's an end to the list or even who is exactly on it, only who I presume to be on the list. Including but not limited to: Parents, Members of Education, Law Enforcement, Social Scientists, Politicians. You could argue that not all of those with such a title do anything, but you couldn't conclude that there isn't at least one person that isn't doing anything.

It's not laziness, in fact to chalk it up to laziness is ironically enough a lazy explanation.
There are no answers, because that would require a compromise different from the social contrast we have now. We do not live in the best possible society, we live in a compromise between different groups' local maxima.
Imagine if laziness was the only thing that stopped us from dismantling media cabals, the military-industrial complex, University Administrators, the Cigarette Industry, Race Grifters, Churches and Religious hierarchies, investment property Boomers etc. etc. Imagine if it was just laziness that would make them all see the 'bigger picture', agree on what that bigger picture looks like, and sacrifice their individual and group privileges for it.
They will pit a tremendous amount of energy into opposing it. That shows anything but laziness being the problem.

for one to be upset there has to be something to lose and someone to blame. Perhaps bitterness is the pre-supposition these things; the presumption that the person in front of you will be blameworthy relative to some psychological trauma you carry around, likely unawares. They will hurt you, and it will be their failure, and so you are predisposed, you are bitter. It's strange to think that most likely virtually all evil comes down to things like this, since actions need reasons for virtually all human beings, and for it to make sense to most human beings to be evil there probably has to be pain and blame. Both of which are, individually, very interesting.

Very weird, alienating, experience when you have sex with a girl and she is clearly just trying to do what she has seen in porn because she thinks that's what sex is.
I don't mean any specific sex act in itself, but more like how they comport themselves, the energy, the attitude.

his intellect did not reveal to him its best reading of what the emotional sentiment really was: as he opened the app he was struck by nervousness and anxiety, which he tried to parry by various techniques such as "I am a person like other people; people are attracted to other people, so why not me?" and "they're just thots, it doesn't matter" and "I'm just here trying to have fun". This was what the intellect would allow for him, though he continued feeling pressured. He tried to convert this raw energy into forward momentum, and this did yield some chat-messages. It was entirely plausible that, since there was no face to read and no tone conveyed, one of these "thots" would be unable to assess his true state, and, together, perhaps, they could tumble into a series of events. Perhaps some of these events could seem meaningful, one way or another. Likely they would be, for a time, relative to the real problem. Not so likely would they truly amend it. The reading which the intellect, out of this misinformed strive for self-preservation, or perhaps self-creation, was withholding somewhere in the deep; the real emotional sentiment underneat the anxious pressure, this pressure of unintelligent hope in the face of what should be clear signs of his own misguidance, was this:

and then you bang your head into her head hard enough that it hurts just a little, little bit
then, if she's your kind of idiot, she is a bit baffled, and this means you need to take the initiative, you've pulled two bunnies out the hat- she is laughing in confused disbelief (you did not bang the head very hard)
now you act a little bit dazed for .3 seconds before breaking the 4th wall hard and going ".. shit I forgot my line" and you face away and go "LINE" (all of this must happen before she grasps any of what is going on, it must flow naturally)
and then you go "oh yea" and then you rapidly pull her into your grasp and kiss her very hard, very passionately
when you've done that for a little while you lean out and fo "fuck this is a good play" at which point she will begin to smile again, and then you kiss her more regular passionately. after that it's free-form, but arguably not sex.

Take the way people treat anxiety disorders in relation to schizophrenia, for example. Most people just can't relate to people with schizophrenia because they can't really understand the illness and imagine how it is to have those symptons, therefore, they can't feel a lot of empathy for a person with schizophrenia.
But everyone knows how it is to be very anxious about something and can relate to people that feel that way all the time, be it either social anxiety, ocd, or any other anxiety disorder. It is closer to the experiences of most people and they can put themselves in the shoes of those people.
I'm sure that this is more complex and that there are other social and historical reasons, but that is one I can think of.

It's quite grueling actually . Nobody particularly has the depth of insight to realize I'd make the best bf. They can't see past the fact that I'm damaged and dating is all about presenting an ideal fake version of yourself until finally you get close enough with someone to drop the image and be authentic. At least that's how I see it as someone who has been wounded. Doesn't help that I suffered a lot of emotional abuse as a youngin and basically the first quarter of my life sucked completely and it's like I'm making up for lost time.

I'm also not an incel. I have/had what some would consider an enviable sex life, have banged a few models etc. I can basically get sex on demand even though I'm currently not at my peak. This is partly attributable to the ease with which one is able to have sex as a homosexual paired with being reasonably attractive. I also know how to be superficially seductive and charming in the short term and telling people what they want to hear. It's simple .

sexuality is a concept invented by atheists to justify following any and all desires they might have. can't help it, I'm X. you're not mate. shagged a bird, maybe I'm bi. mate you're just a satanist, you can stop this any time if you ask God for help.

pschiatric diagnoses are also invented by satanists. the first of them were just arrogant, wanting to own having labled something, being the big deep thinky-man. for real find me a freudian or jungian who doesn't think he has the keys to the nukes in every person around him, tha the isn't upon some deep, deep secret, while both freud and jung despised God. now they remain in place because it gives a structured excuse for the failings of atheist soul-care. God can sort you mate. They can't falsify it, and they hate Him for some reason (late stage protestantism? you have to remember that christianity is pretty much the only major religion that died on its own in 9 cases out of 10), but He can.

So, therapists either don't talk about anything and just want to be your friend, or don't have real discussions about historical topics.

I mentioned psychoanalysis and hypnosis and what I was experiencing, and my analysis of the facts pertaining to my identity and it's interrelation with the content of my conflict. (castration complex Cf Jung.) All I got back was the void. I felt like I was lying about everything the next day. Like I had just hypnotized my therapist somehow and was the father of lies, desu. Only because it was a useless conversation and there was no discussion. Are therapists trained in this? It is obvious they have training in NLP or else the therapy wouldn't be very effective, or wouldn't be effective. Why would they use NLP to distract me from the real issues? Or do they not want you to know something about the psychoanalytic field? Why are long term patients discouraged from investigation, and just exploration? oh no

Or, maybe one lie masks the whole truth. I'm not getting the help I need with my problem and it seems they don't want to address it, and would rather address something else.

Therapists are too quick to grab the hypnosis (which is close to NLP and other techniques used in therapy).

what's interesting about "la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" is that it seems to simultaneously support ash'ari occasionalism (there is no change-) and athari efficient causes (and no strength (ie capacity for change)) (the rest of the quote is "except by/from/in God"). I think at least that ash'aris maintain that creation is created moment to moment, making God the only cause, while I think atharis claim that God can effectively delegate ability, for instans "by its own hardness a rock can shatter the not-as-hard glass". an ash'ari would say "as the rock strikes the glass God decides that the glass breaks; should He will it He will disqualify what appear to be the laws of nature: a "miracle"". atharis will agree miracles exist, I'm sure.

the point is: this is an old point of contention mostly for some subgroups of theologists. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah is a very common saying in Islam, it's a way to remember providence in the past, present and future; I think it's from the Qur'an but either way it is very highly recommended as a remembrance by the Prophet, saws. It's interesting that it seems to give fuel to both positions at once. The Prophet very strongly opposed any reading of the Qur'an that rendered it contradictory. I think both positions can soundly and on the terms of the scripture itself be supported. Idk it just struck me today, I'm not sure I'm right about half of this stuff, this is mostly just loose stuff in my head, idk stuff don't quote me.

but the tails' side of the coin necessitates the heads' side. similarly, the existence of light necessitates the possibility and existence of darkness. it seems like if we contrast two sides of a perfect dichotomy, we aren't making any synthetic judgement whatsoever. it doesn't seem possible to isolate one half of a dichotomy without implying the other. if this is right, it seems to indicate that parmenides was completely correct, which is causing me a lot of distress. it must be wrong, i'm overlooking something i think.

Look, there's nothing to say. There is absolutely nothing to say about anything. Pain is Pain. Intellect as a God does not have an opinion or make any propositions, let alone inferences. According to intellect, everything is what it is. What is Pain? Pain is a particular type of sensation. But insofar as Pain is Pain itself, Pain is not a sensation or a type of anything at all, but merely Pain. Is Pain bad? Pain is Pain. Should Pain be avoided? Pain is Pain. The Mind has an interpretative framework in place with which it decides that Pain "should" be avoided. And this is an evolutionary construct. In fact, to speak of "should" from any perspective except that of a biological organism is absurd. The reality that exists above us knows only Principle and Necessity. So Pain means nothing in itself, all Pain means insofar as it is Pain is that it is Pain. Then, to say that there is no "real" reason to do anything because all reasons would be "merely biological" is also absurd, because to say that you shouldn't do something that the biological organism says should be done is also moving "should" to the realm of metaphysics and is therefore absurd. There is no concept of "should" above biological organism, and therefore it is meaningless to say that the life of a biological organism is meaningless for it is only the organism for which should exists in the first place. It is meaningless to say anything. The only reason that we make propositions is to try and represent what we see. The logicists and mathematicians attempt to make the idea of a proposition something prior to other things, but in fact all propositions are empty and merely restatings of what we have seen... There is no proposition in divine Intellect, for everything in Intellect is at once comprehended as identical to itself. Yet it is meaningless to say that everything in Intellect "is" comprehended at once to itself, because it does not experience it that way as this way is propositional. It cannot be described in words how things in Intellect are, not because of any failure to use language to its full extent, but because language is fundamentally propositional and the Beings in Intellect are themselves without proposition and are even identical to Intellect. The only way it can be seen is to see it, it cannot be communicated. Communication is a lower and therefore less perfect rendering.

Being in the military (Particularly as a medic) is such an indescribable feeling because I basically have no job really until something bad so there's a fragment of me that wants something awful to happen even though it would undoubtedly be horrible. Even worse is that you really can't say that to anyone especially the older people who were around for a conflict because they are adamant that you don't want it. Even despite the fact that they haven't a clue because they did get theirs.
So you're just trapped in stasis of wanting purpose but understanding that your purpose comes at the cost of a lot of horrors.
The reason I specify medic is because you can practise most things before any conflict kicks off but this is a field that requires injury and even death to practice properly so it's weird.

Everyone is given a wish granting lamp. Now what do we do with it? The one caveat is that your wishes must be pure good so you can not wish to harm others nor have power over others.

I think most people would wish for beauty and romance. That would be most important.
Then you would want something else to do, so you would wish for adventures to go on. Then sometimes you would want to relax so you wish for leisure and tranquility.
Then lastly you sometimes want to be captivated (like by great art), so you wish for great bemusement.

That's like all the fun you can have. Of course there is a grand variety of each type of activity, but there's really not much else to do.

Do you stay and remain a person? Do you move on to another plane of existence? Is being a human so purposeful for you?

After you've had enough time being a human, you can wish to become a God. That's even more glorious.

no.
it is possible to have a beginning surfacing of a language of sexual acts, symbols and values as a result of some other, unresolved issue, as a kind of a tentative making known of whateaver is really going on. ask youself "why this? what does this mean? when I long for this, what is it really that I want?" You will find that what you actually want is not the stimulation of a prostate orgasm, it's something far more human that happens to take this form. if you need to explore the feelings and symbols then be very careful, give primacy to imagination and don't actually fuck men, as this will add deeply to the confusion and could even establish in you some misguided "identity". Most of all give yourself time and don't be afraid of your thoughts and feelings but don't fuck men.

No, I've only romantically crushed on girls but they were never quite strong feelings.
It also doesn't really seem that sexual. I think the main thing is that I don't believe that I could ever find a girl who I could be a true companion and friend to me. There is just way too big of a rift between myself and the average person and that is doubly so for myself and a female. But it is also sexual. When I imagine myself using tinder and trying to find a girlfriend I'm just filled with dread in having to subject myself to completely shallow and vapid women who I could never form a connection with. I am probably combining my desire for true friendship and sexual intimacy. But at the same time people have called my taste homosexual on mu, another girl almost dumped because she thought I was bisexual and even one time someone thought I was a tranny (online) (these are just external influences for me questioning it btw). I think that has more to do with the fact that I've never attached any importance to what anyone thought about me.

Is there truly such a thing as "true" or "high" literature? If so, what qualifies a work as such? Is it simply the prose? If so, what makes the prose so true and/or high? Flowerily words or the playing of them? If so, then every erotic poem and novel is a masterpiece when written in euphemisms.
Is it the ideas that the work presents and explores? If so, what ideas make it true or high? Are they political or theological in nature? Is there even a difference anymore? The line between politician and priest is so blurred now, if such a line even existed to be begin with.
Is it the story makes a work true and/or high? If so, then prose and subject matter mean nothing at all. An author then need do nothing but strip every work of true and high literature to it's bear narrative components, give it one's own layers, and he'll be regarded as the greatest writer in human history before or since.
If it is none of these things, then what?

How many years has it been since the human race hurled its great question into the vast unanswered chaos beyond the blank of their world? Since we challenged the trillion mile roads between here and nowhere, and flung our great seeds out into time? And where are they going, set out to chart destiny? What will be waiting when they get there? And is it worse to imagine that it will be Nothing or Something? Will we just be adrift and waiting until stardeath destroys us all and galactic fire wipes the slate free?
--No, but one ship found something, maybe at the edge of the universe's farthest disc; who can say?. In an unassumed corner of space and time, they drifted into a columnal place, a far-off pocket somehow unwashed by the heat of any near star. And yet light illuminated, there it was--the Great Mystery stood unrevealed beyond the pilots' radiation-sealed visor. The Ultimate Man. A perfect reconstruction of a human body in anatomical position, colossal & suspended in the starless blank. In two dimensions like a map of humanity itself, plotted down an unseen axis. It seemed to wave there subtly, like a flag blown by some interstellar wind. Its outline sparkled with a spectral incandescence. The architects were vanished or invisible, dead or gone. The pilots hung in their seats over emptiness and found that they had tears on their cheeks. They tasted themselves and the salt was sweet. Light-years away a star-flare winked in the quilted fabric somewhere outside the ship.
